I am elderly (when I went to school there was no history class.) I love gardening --- am a Master Gardener I love cooking --- am the furthest thing from a Master Cook. I live for fishing and football. I thought about listing myself as an expert just for laughs. I'm glad I didn't. There are so many of those on this site I feel rather special, being in the minority. Tex/Mex, Asian or Southern. Couldn't eat any of these more than six times a day, seven days a week. Sometimes I actually cook well enough that The Boss (read "Wife") doesn't send out for pizza. Cannot cook a good meatloaf. Have wasted several herds of cattle trying.
